January 24, 200917 yr I love how he messed up on the Oath. I addressed this earlier, and it was Roberts that messed it up.
January 25, 200917 yr I love how he messed up on the Oath. I addressed this earlier, and it was Roberts that messed it up. Anyone else think it is pathetic we live in such a messed up time Obama "had" to retake the oath later so noone would complain? I'd love to see a president try to say the whole oath without someone there to read it line by line(if thats allowed) Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.
January 25, 200917 yr I reckon Obama, as well as many other Presidents, could. It isn't particularly long, and Obama in particular taught Constitutional law at a university (I believe). catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
January 25, 200917 yr What's annoying is the fact that idiots are making this out like it's the end of the world. I can't go to school and NOT hear someone talking about "Emperor Obama" or that someone will kill him or something. Seriously, if the school cracked down and reported those kids to the police, half of the school would be under arrest for sedition. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
January 25, 200917 yr I love how he messed up on the Oath. I love how ignorant you are to what actually happened.

If you could, we'd run out of robo-cops pretty fast. They'd be calling each other and be like "Oh beep-boop-beep my battery is dy-" ...Yeah, but seriously. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
January 25, 200917 yr Tomorrow, Barrack Obama will be sworn into office. O.K, thats all good, but the media blows this whole thing up. Barrack Obama Uhh... if it's sooo over-hyped why can't you spell his name right? OH S***! He/she/it is back!

January 25, 200917 yr Here's some interesting reads about the "Chicago elitist snob": http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/ ... ommate/?hp http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm? ... 02A906DC5F
January 26, 200917 yr The speech was decent, the whole event was pretty good, but there were a couple of things that bothered me: The announcer's voice (he sounds like he was picked up last minute from a circus) -.- The poetry reading (it was a good poem, but to me it felt out of place) :| But I agree, the media made way too big of a story. Tonight Show made me :lol:: "Sir! Barack Obama has been president for 4 minutes 24 seconds! What change have you witnessed?" *buys a Barack Obama hat* "I gave you a twenty dollar bill! Give me some change I can believe in!" Want to help the Tip.It Crew? Visit the Website Updates & Corrections forum!
January 26, 200917 yr for anyone interested in the stimulus argument: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/26/opini ... ugman.html Next, write off anyone who asserts that its always better to cut taxes than to increase government spending because taxpayers, not bureaucrats, are the best judges of how to spend their money. Heres how to think about this argument: it implies that we should shut down the air traffic control system. After all, that system is paid for with fees on air tickets and surely it would be better to let the flying public keep its money rather than hand it over to government bureaucrats. If that would mean lots of midair collisions, hey, stuff happens. The point is that nobody really believes that a dollar of tax cuts is always better than a dollar of public spending. Meanwhile, its clear that when it comes to economic stimulus, public spending provides much more bang for the buck than tax cuts and therefore costs less per job created (see the previous fraudulent argument) because a large fraction of any tax cut will simply be saved. This suggests that public spending rather than tax cuts should be the core of any stimulus plan. But rather than accept that implication, conservatives take refuge in a nonsensical argument against public spending in general.
January 26, 200917 yr He's half Black?? I though he was half white half hawaiin. I have the about the same tone of Skin as him and I ain't black. Wongton is better than me in anyway~~
January 26, 200917 yr All this hype is annoying, I agree. The problem we have with Obama is that people are so pissed off at Bush and Cheney, they think that Obama will magically fix everything. This puts the Obama administration in a position where they can easily manipulate and take advantage of huge amounts of people in the population who have no idea of any policies but simply voted for Obama out of hatred for Bush. Don't get me wrong, Obama beats McCain hands down, EVERYTIME. Giving Sarah Palin a chance at presidency is something noone should ever do. But, when I hear people on the right, like Bill O'reilly talking about people blindly voting for Obama as the "cool" thing to do without understanding his policies, I can't help but agree. I mean, it's just true, and it isn't good. Personally, I agree more with Obama than McCain, but I still think he is to be watched extremely closely. He is in a position where he could easily abuse his power. Hey.

He is in a position where he could easily abuse his power. Exactly. He is made out to be some "god" who will fix everything, and it simply is not true. At the end of the day, he is just another politician. It will be interesting to see how people view him 4 years from now. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
January 26, 200917 yr He's half Black?? I though he was half white half hawaiin. I have the about the same tone of Skin as him and I ain't black. His father was from Kenya and his mother from Kansas. and being born someone doesn't automatically make you a "___"ian. I consider myself a Pennsylvanian, even though I wasn't born in this state. and i hope this doesn't sound at all racist, but there are many shades of African-american skintones. unless you've lived under a rock, or in Vermont, you would have seen enough african-americans to realize this.

Thats because a large amount of african americans actually have white ancestors from slave masters. Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.

Thats because a large amount of african americans actually have white ancestors from slave masters. wow really? so... are you trying to say the only way some people will admit that we have a black president is if none of his ancestors were white? by that argument, some other people that you wouldn't consider African-American are Booker T Washington, Bob Marley, and Adam Powell (NY's first black congressman).
January 27, 200917 yr I said this once, I will say it again. He hasn't done anything historic at all. I could care less if he is Chinese, Indian, Jewish, Russian etc. etc. When he does something noteworthy I will appreciate him. He may be a good speaker, but half of the people who voted for him don't even know 5 of his policies. Hitler was a good speaker, and look what he did for the world. It is so [bleep]ing stupid, you say Obama sucks and half a dozen people call you racist; bet it wouldn't be racist if he was white.

Some 50 years ago black people couldent sit at the front of a bus. Hitler was a great person in all aspects if you dont count the killing of the jews. On youtube there are MANY people saying "Obama is not my prez" and they cant think of a good reason other that he is black. If all the blacks said McCain sucked it would be racist. GTFO Pureprayer, you're awesome.

I agree with BTTB. If he does something worth mentioning then fine, i'll acknowledge him as this so called "great leader", but he has to earn that title, he doesn't get it just because he's black. Despite what people will think this isn't a racist post, it's just a post with a little thought behind it. (Just a little) Ponies!

Well, I can see his point in that Obama didn't choose to be black. When he actually implements some great policies, then I think that's when people should start praising him as a good president. Closing Gitmo is a good start, so long as the detainees have somewhere else to be incarcerated/get a fair trial. For another topic, perhaps. I do think bringing up Hitler is rather unnecessary here, though. What I want to know is where and why the hell people are being called racist for saying Obama sucks. It's all too often these day's I'm hearing people being called racists for the most insignificant of reasons.
January 27, 200917 yr Getting rid of Guantanamo Bay is the first step towards peace, obviously. Many atheists and many AMERICANS/People of Europe (regardless of religion) could learn something from Obama, as he just gave a great interview towards the Muslim world. He truly understands Islam, unlike most Americans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD3P99bxwXg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E6H0lniNDY Parts 1 and 2. He mentions the word "respect" at least 12(?) times, and you guys don't know what the means to Muslims, but it means A LOT! It's important to their culture.

As long as they are placed in a proper facility, we needed gitmo closed down since it was a metaphorical eyesore for the US.
